Abstract

Methods and systems of verifying an animation applied in a mobile device may include a timer module that is programmed to time-slice the animation into multiple scenes at predetermined time points along a timeline of the animation. A first capture module is programmed to capture actual data of each scene at each of the time points while the animation is running. A first comparison module is programmed to compare the actual data of each scene with expected data of the corresponding scene to determine whether the actual data of each scene matches the expected data of the corresponding scene. A first output module is programmed to generate a verification failure if the actual data of any scene does not match the expected data of the corresponding scene, and generate a verification success if the actual data of each scene matches the expected data of the corresponding scene.
